Uranium

Uranium production requires a deep understanding of how to best process varying ore compositions and cutting-edge technologies that reduce the use of energy, water and chemicals. From heating and cooling, leaching and thickening to solvent extraction, precipitation and enrichment, uranium producers count on Alfa Laval for heat transfer, separation and fluids handling equipment that optimize processes and boost yields.

Alfa Laval spiral heat exchangers, decanter centrifuges, drum thickeners and separation solutions help you maximize processes and profits throughout every phase of uranium production – from heating and cooling, leaching and thickening to solvent extraction and precipitation.

Alfa Laval spiral heat exchangers enable the smart reuse of heat from hot rich leaching agents to pre-heat the incoming leaching agents. At the same time, the rich leach medium is cooled prior to leaching, soild-liquid separation and solvent extraction.
